Brooke Burke-Charvet, 42, looks stunning in new photo shoot... as she reveals she STILL regrets that her first marriage didn't work out

Brooke Burke-Charvet feels she's 'lucky' to have a husband like Dave Charvet.

The Dancing With The Stars host told the spring issue of NEW YOU, on newsstands now, she's not only in love, but she loves their life together, which includes four children - two of their own and two from a previous marriage to plastic surgeon Garth Fisher.

But there is one thing that bothers the 42-year-old: 'I regret having a marriage that didn’t
work, because divorce is “forever” for children,' she confessed. 'I regret that my two
oldest daughters have to grow up knowing that sometimes a family falls
apart. That’s my heartbreaking life lesson. But I’m happy that they can
see love now.'

The former Rock Star host was married to Garth from 2001 to 2005.

But the Connecticut native explained life has gotten even better since marrying Dave in 2011.

'I feel more accomplished because I have a
family and I’m very lucky to be in a loving marriage with a man that
I’m in love with and he’s in love with me,' she said.

'That’s, like, amazing so in
that I find beauty.'

She also suggested that all people, whether they're famous or not, always have a support group.

'Women have so many opportunities today,' she said.

'One of the lessons I’ve learned is that you have to assemble your team.
That is so important. I don’t just mean your workforce. I mean your
team. That means your partner, or your family if you’re choosing to
have children.'

She added: 'The most important people in my life are those who I see
when I go home, the ones I fall back upon. Everything else is icing. If
you have that kind of a foundation, you can do anything.'

She added that team can mean even just one person.

'You have to know
that somebody has got you,' she explained. 'I say that to my children all the time: "Don’t worry, I’ve got you."'

'I’ve learned
how to be flexible, and how to listen. I’ve learned how to accept people
for who they are. They have different personalities - what works with one
fails with another. I’ve learned to speak a different language with
each of my children,' she admitted.

She also said that aging is just fine with her.

'Forties started out a little bit rough
because there have been some challenging life issues but physically I
feel better today than I did in my thirties,' said the beauty who battled thyroid cancer.

'I feel like there is a
number of reasons: I know myself better. I have boundaries, a louder
voice and I know myself as a woman,' she said.

'I know my body better, how to dress
my body and I have a better sense of style. I am also more
experienced.'

As far as getting a little nip tuck the looker - who showed off a perfectly body during a gas station visit in LA last week - said, 'If a woman has done a bit of work, you
should never know. Women who do too much scare me. I’m glad it scares
me. I was married to a plastic surgeon, so I’ve seen it all.'

The Naked Mom author was photographed for NEW YOU by Justin Stephens. In all the shots she is wearing spring clothes, including a gold dress, a peach dress and a beige suit. She also shows off her diamond wedding band from Dave.
